Jensen GT
Those shooting brakes were quite popular in Britain. And the number of British cars on this list will convince you of that. So here is one more, the Jensen GT. It was a brave attempt to introduce the shooting brake to U.S. buyers back in the mid-70s. The GT was the closed version of the Jensen Healey Roadster, a popular open-top model in ’70s.
To widen its appeal, Jensen decided to create a coupe, so the GT was born. Under the hood was a 2.0-liter Lotus-derived engine with around 100 HP and a modest performance. They presented the GT in 1975 and discontinued it in 1976, selling a few, mostly on the American market.
